Think about the person who invited you to start your Mary Kay business. What personality type
does she have? And what about your Independent Sales Director?
Now that you know more about the Four DISC personality types and how to talk to each, keep
this information in mind during booking and team building appointments. Be sure to apply what
you’ve learned in this activity so that every person you book a skin care party and share the
opportunity with will FEEL VALUED and be MORE OPEN to hearing what you have to say.

So keep practicing until you feel comfortable ZLWK�WKH�GLDORJXHV�DQG�\RX�IHHO�FRQ¿GHQW�WKDW�\RX�FDQ�GHOLYHU�WKHP�during an actual booking or team building appointment.
"DISC ROLE PLAY GUIDE
Based on the video featured in the previous activity, you can ask your Indepen-dent Sales Director or Power Partner if she could do a booking and team building role-play with you using this guide. You might want to go over the information below with her so that you can be clear on what you want to accomplish with this activity.
WHEN SPEAKING WITH A DOMINANT PERSONALITY:
FOCUS ON: the BIG PICTURE of the Mary Kay opportunity
TALK ABOUT: - The potential income of an independent Mary Kay business.
- The independence that the Mary Kay opportunity can offer.
- Building and leading a team.
- Being a leader and coaching others.
- All the goals they can achieve.
QUESTION YOU CAN ASK: Suzy, after everything you’ve heard today, if you were to consider the Mary Kay opportunity, why do you think you would be great?
OTHER TIPS: When talking to a “D” Personality, it is important to let her talk. She will tell you what
she wants to know!
WHEN SPEAKING WITH AN INFLUENTIAL PERSONALITY:
FOCUS ON: the FUN, PRIZES and RECOGNITION in Mary Kay.
TALK ABOUT: - The fun she can have at meetings and events.
- The friends she can make and the relationships she can build with other women.
- The prizes she can earn.
- The recognition she can receive.
QUESTIONS YOU CAN ASK: Suzy, after everything you’ve heard today:1. Which prizes would you love to earn?2. If you were to consider starting a Mary Kay business, what would you do with the extra income?3. What excites you the most about the Mary Kay opportunity?
OTHER TIPS: Keep it light and FUN!! If it’s not fun, an “I” Personality probably won’t be interested!

The 4 P’s QuestionsAudio TranscriptIn the 2 previous activities of this module, you learned about the Four DISC personality types and practiced what you learned by doing booking and team building role-plays with your Sales Director or Power Partner.
Now it’s time to familiarize yourself with another great way to connect with other women. It’s by using the 4 P’s Questions. The 4 P’s refer to one’s Picture, Purpose, Passion and Possibilities.
The 4 P’s Questions are: 1. PICTURE - Would you mind telling me about yourself? 2. PURPOSE - What brings you joy? 3. PASSION - Tell me about a time when you were proud of yourself. What was it about that experience that you loved the most? 4. POSSIBILITIES - Let’s dream for a minute. If time and money were not an issue, what dream would you like to be living a year from now?
Take a moment to picture yourself preparing for a team building appointment. You are about to share the Mary Kay opportunity with a potential team member. Remember, it’s not just about adding a new team member to your team. Let your conversation focus on HER. Let her tell you about herself, what brings her joy, her most cherished experiences, her dreams for the future… Make it all about HER. This will make her feel valued and important. Then if you think she’s ready, ask her if she thinks the Mary Kay opportunity would be right for her.

"WEEK 2 - ACTIVITY 4
My “I” StoryAudio TranscriptSince this module is all about “Words that Work” the last activity will focus on your “I” story.
What is an “I” story? An “I” story is simply the story of how and why you began your Mary Kay business. Sharing your “I” story is an essential part of every Mary Kay skin care party because it is a great way to connect with the women who might become future customers or maybe even potential team members.
Take a moment to write your own “I” story down. Practice saying it in front of your Sales Director or Power Partner and ask her for feedback. Then memorize it so that you can share it at your next skin care party.
MY “I” STORYHaving a well crafted “I” story is important because it can help connect you with people at your skin
care parties. Create your very own “I” story by answering all of the questions provided below. Re-
member, your “I” story may change over time as you build and grow your business, so be sure to
revisit this form and revise it as needed.
After you’ve answered all the questions above, print it out and practice saying it in front of your Independent Sales Director or Power Partner and ask for feedback. Make changes if needed then consider memorizing it so that you can share it at your next skin care party.
